Abstract:
From results of oxidation, protonation, and alkylation of the products arising in one- or two-electron reduction of m-tolunitrile with sodium in liquid ammonia followed a conclusion that these products are respectively anion-radical of the compound and 3-methyl-1-cyano-2,5-cyclohexadienyl anion. The reaction of both reduction products with alkyl halides gives rise to compounds of ipso-alkylation with respect to cyano group: the corresponding alkyltoluenes and 1-alkyl-3-methyl-1-cyclohexadienes. The ratio of these products depends on the structure of alkyl halide. The possibility to prepare selectively m-alkyltoluenes by reaction of the product of two-electron reduction of m-tolunitrile with alkyl halides was demonstrated.
